He who has no name, that will be patched in the next 24hrs and your current user will be removed, so don't trade with that account and might as well start a new one with a name.

If the trading fee were 1/10th what it is now, we would be able to trade much smaller price movements. Plus, any nonzero fee will still lose out to random chance in the long run.
At 0.1% and $610 spot, we need to overcome a $0.61 price movement or spread to break even.
At 0.01% and $610 spot, we need to overcome a $0.06 price movement or spread to break even.
There have been a few scalp opportunities I wanted to play over the past few days, but the commission represented something like 25% of the potential profit so I passed.
The change would increase activity, but decrease realism / change it to be more like the chinese exchanges.
Anyhow, my two cents.

This I like...
I asked a while back what people thought would be a reasonable fee or spread to use as a way to keep the flipflopping to a minimum and I barely got any input. I think I originally had .1% or maybe even less, but .2% was decided on. Not only because it was the only other amount mentioned but also because it is about the average rate across normal exchanges.
I completely understand the lack in activity during such a flat boring time, which happens to be the perfect time to get in and choose sides, but I get it.

I wanted to get into trading so a simulator is the best thing to do this with so you don't lose any of your bits playing the market. 
You are the perfect candidate for this!

Have fun!
Have fun!
Thanks!
SIgned up and bought be some BTC
Question, how can non bitcointalk forum members participate?
Is the source code for your tool open source?
Anyone can play. I did not write anything to check against the forum usernames, so whatever... I put the placeholder as "bitcointalk username" because it was a game here. Maybe I'll remove that part It is not open sourced at this time. I would like it to get more established and add some more features and gameplay options before someone can make a better version using my code

Very cool project, RyNinDaCleM.
I'll definitely take a look when it launches.

My advice is to make sure the site isn't hackable, since it will surely attract that kind of attention.
I would like to play, but if I'll get too much unwanted attention again (like PMs with dubious links) I would have to quit.

It should be secure... There is nothing accessible from the browser and sql injection is covered. With no actual money or monetary gain, why would someone waste time hacking it? they won't get emails since email isn't used. Not sure why anyone would hack it
edit, who/what were you getting?

Global features include:
- Fully automated trading. Just the click of a button and in seconds, the scoreboard reflects your new position

- Trade preview. Mouse over the trade button and you get an output of what your new balance would be if you execute right now
- 8 hour rule is out... With a small fee on each trade, there is no need for someone to be stuck in a position for picking a bad trade from time to time.
- Current price in the browser tab
- Limit trading with lower "maker" fee schedule
- The server gets the price once, and individual users get the price from our server resulting in a 99% reduction in Coindesk API hits and greater reliability for participants
User specific features include:
- You choose to start with $100 or $100 worth of BTC at registration so no more waiting for your desired position after being added
- individual stats on the right sidebar. Balances, PL and last trade price (for those who forget between trades)
- Once logged in, your row in the scoreboard is highlighted in yellow to be easier to find
- Users have far less restriction in using special chars for passwords for added security

Bug report:
A bug when repeatedly hitting the trade button will cause you to end up with 0 BTC, 0 USD and a -100% PL. ETA for a fix, 11-9-2016 FIXED!
